From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Foobar2000. Haven't found anything similar in terms of ui customization options, easy convert and ReplayGain operations built in.

Dang dude, I had just gotten over foobar2000.

Ahh! It was such a step up from Winamp. I think I started using that around 0.7… and actually used it with Wine when I started using Linux as my main OS in about 2008. But there is nothing quite like it.
